Earlier this week, I wrote in this blog about Floyd Landis, the American cyclist with an arthritic hip who is among the leaders at the Tour de France. Landis regained the overall lead after today's time trial race. With one more stage to go on Sunday, Landis could become the heir apparent to Lance Armstong, who won it seven straight times.
For Landis to even be in a position to win the Tour de France is amazing considering where he was just a few days ago. After Wednesday's race, Landis lost more than eight minutes in his overall time and fell to 11th place. All hope for victory was gone. No one gave Landis a chance.
The next day, however, in what is considered one of the most heroic comebacks, Landis closed that gap on the leaders and moved up to third overall.
If Landis wins the Tour de France on Sunday, it will be one of the most remarkable sports stories of the year.
